Major challenges persist in measuring and monitoring the energy consumption and identifying the reference baseline, which are particularly noticeable when it comes to attract financing for scaled investments in energy efficiency measures, achieving 100% compliance, and to go beyond code. Despite that, there is dearth of data on energy consumption and GHG emission from end-users. Currently the GHG savings and the cost-benefits of low carbon interventions in the building sector are not systematically quantified in Mongolia and their benefits remain unclear and done on ad-hoc basis. While the use of renewable energy sources for electricity and for heat supply is also a relevant GHG reduction strategy for the country, number of related interventions is limited at the moment. At the same time, it is focusing on the efficient use of the electricity and heat produced from coal burning, in particular through the use of energy efficient appliances and equipment and on reducing heat losses in buildings. Mongolia’s GHG mitigation policy is primarily directed towards burning coal by more environmentally friendly technologies. The building sub-sector alone contributes to over 11% of the overall carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions which is higher than that from the other sectors (INDC and SNC). He holds a bachelor degree in economics from Georgia Southern University, in Statesboro, and a master’s degree in agricultural economics from the University of Georgia, Athens.The energy sector is by far the largest contributor of total greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in the country yet it holds a higher potential for emissions reduction due to an increase in building energy efficiency. He also works to support food aid shipments to the World Food Program and other humanitarian groups.
